75 and what is the bra size. What to look for. How to choose plus size front closure bras


We propose to figure out how to determine bra size.
First, stop worrying, because from this, breathing becomes more frequent, and, consequently, the volume of the chest increases, which in this case is absolutely useless for us))).

There is a way to most accurately determine your bra size or the size of your girlfriend, we will not deprive men of the opportunity to give us gifts, the more they do it wonderfully. Let's consider everything in stages.

Determining the size of the bra or how to find out the size of the bra

1. Take a measuring tape (this is such a soft ruler), but if you do not have a measuring tape, then take any flat tape of sufficient length and an ordinary rigid ruler.

2. Measure yourself under the bust, laying quite tightly, but not pulling the tape under the mammary glands and further along the back not at the same level, if you used a measuring tape, then just look at the resulting figure (be careful - we measure from zero, often with measuring tape apply numbers with divisions on both sides, otherwise the result may upset you in vain), but if you use a simple braid, then after measuring the girth, attach it to the ruler and get the result in numbers. Record the measurement (for example, 72 cm). By the way, this measurement should be done on the naked body. Fig. 1

3. Next, we measure the chest itself, lay a measuring tape along the most prominent points of the chest and further along the shoulder blades, along the back, still laying the tape tightly enough, but in no case, without deforming the mammary glands. In this case, you can pre-wear a bra that you especially like, i.e. your chest is in it. It should be taken into account that if you put on a bra with a push-up effect (such a molded cup made of foam rubber with a thickening under the bust), then after measurements you will need to subtract 1 cm, this is an error. If you put on a “soft cup” bra (the bra cup is simply made of fabric, without additional pads), then we do not correct the measurements. Write down the measurement (for example, 88 cm). Fig. 2

Figure: 1 Fig. 2

5. On the markings of bras there is a number and a letter next to it (for example, 75B),

the number indicates the girth under the bust, the letter is the cup size.

6. We look at our figure from point 2 (72 cm), in the markings on bras:

70; 75; 80; 85; 90; 95, etc. (the step from size to size is 5 cm). There is a nuance here: there are three rows of loops on the fasteners of bras with a step of 1 cm, this makes it possible to adjust the density of the girth under the bust, i.e. our measurement is 72 cm we choose a bra marked with size “70”. It is always best to choose a lower value because the fabric stretches slightly during the process of wearing and washing.

7. To determine the size of the bra cup, you need to subtract the measurement of the girth under the bust (measurement of item 2) from the measurement of the girth of the chest (measurement of item 3) (for example, 88cm-72cm \u003d 16 cm).

We look at the resulting value in the table:

12cm difference means you have cup A

14 cm Cup B

16 cm Cup C

18 cm Cup D

20 cm Cup E

22 cm Cup F

24 cm Cup G

In our example, we got a C cup, because the difference was 16 cm, so the bra size is "70C"!

Bras models. How to choose a bra

Finding a bra is pretty easy. Having determined your bra size, we proceed to the selection of models and types of bras, depending on your preferences.

The word bra (from the German Büste "female breast" and Halter "holder") literally stands for breast holder. In colloquial speech, the word "bra" is popular, which is a diminutive form of the word "bodice". A bodice is a part of a dress in a woman's wardrobe, which covers the chest and back (the so-called "camp").

The importance of making the right choice

In a lingerie store, the beautiful half of humanity often forgets how important it is to choose not only but also functional, which is much more important. The knowledge of how to correctly determine the size of the bra and cup, disappears from the head at the sight of a charming bodice, and the tempting tag "discount" turns a woman into a hungry vampire.

Due to the wrong choice of laundry, the following problems are possible:

  • violation of the blood supply to the mammary glands;
  • the occurrence of tumors due to excessive compression of the chest;
  • the width of the straps, chosen incorrectly, leads to the fact that the chest does not receive the necessary support, therefore, it quickly loses its elasticity;
  • strong squeezing or irregular shape of the cups leads to pain in the back and upper shoulder girdle, which are harbingers of osteochondrosis.

Women need to be very careful about their mammary glands. The size of the bra cup, straps and breast fit are very important for young girls, and for adult women, and for nursing mothers. Any lady who cares about her health must carefully consider the choice of this wardrobe item.

Types of sizes

Many women have come across the fact that the sizes we are accustomed to, indicated in letter form, do not always coincide with foreign production.

The bottom line is that some manufacturers designate the size of the linen as simply as possible, expressing them by the ratio of numbers and letters corresponding to the measurements of the body, while others accept conventions in which the same parameters are encrypted.

Nuances that not everyone knows about:

  • it is customary to express the fullness of the bra cup using the letters of the Latin alphabet;
  • the numbers indicate the girth under the chest.

Therefore, in order to correctly determine the required size, you need to know the girth around the chest and the fullness of the cup. Understanding how to spell out your bra cup size isn't hard. The digital equivalent of size looks even simpler.

What size is another manufacturer's bra with cup A? It is easy to determine this using a table.

Sizing

How do I know my bra cup size? This requires a little skill and the simplest tailor's centimeter. You can perform manipulations on your own or with someone's help.

It will be necessary to take measurements according to two parameters:

  1. Chest circumference. It is measured at the most prominent points of the mammary glands around the ribs and across the back. The centimeter is held strictly parallel to the floor. Correct measurement - the tape wraps tightly around the body, but does not squeeze the skin. Strong squeezing or weak tension will give an incorrect result.
  2. Girth under the bust. Measured at the base of the mammary glands. The measurement is taken independently or with the help of a second person. If the measurement is taken on your own, then it is necessary to wear underwear that raises the chest, but does not contain moldings or thick foam rubber.

Measurements are taken in several ways. It is a little more difficult to do it on your own - it is not so convenient to be in a relaxed state and at the same time take measurements. To do this right and then determine the size of your bra cup, you need to use some tricks.

Taking measurements

Measurement methods are divided into modern and traditional. The second option is used more often, but the first is more convenient.

The modern version consists of measuring the volume of the chest and determining the size of the cup:

  1. Determined To measure, you need to become straight, relax your back, spread your arms to the sides. A centimeter is measured under the mammary glands. The processing of the result is simple - if the figure is odd, then you can buy linen, rounding the result both up and down. For example, 77 cm allows you to buy underwear with a girth of both 76 and 78. This is due to the elasticity of the ribbons that are sewn into the bodice - stretching, they easily and comfortably sit on the required volume. If, as a result of measurements, an even figure is obtained, then it corresponds to the girth that is needed. But she, too, can hesitate, since the physique plays an important role.
  2. Determining the size of the cup. This indicator is related to breast size and is considered relative. For measurements, you need to become level, the chest should be parallel to the floor (i.e., bend forward so that your back is level). If there is help, then you can take measurements in a standing position - for this you need to raise the mammary glands with your hands, and the second person will take the measurement.

A centimeter is drawn around the body along the most prominent points of the chest. Too tight or too loose tension of the centimeter will indicate an incorrect measurement.

To determine the size from the obtained indicator of the girth of the chest, you need to subtract the result of measuring the girth under the chest. The difference obtained from this calculation will determine the size of the bra cup. For example, 86 - 77.8 \u003d 8.2.

Correct measurements, unfortunately, are not a guarantee that the linen of these parameters will immediately sit comfortably. The shape of the cup greatly affects the fit of the bra. For breasts that are set wide, it is especially difficult to find a comfortable cup shape.

Owners of large breasts need to be especially careful when choosing this item of toilet. But lush ladies should give preference to comfortable models that will not cause discomfort.

The classic way

In this case, the help of a second person is needed. How to determine your bra cup size? First, the volume of the breast is measured. The centimeter passes strictly under the breast, without deviating or sliding. Sizes are averaged:

  • 67 - 72 \u003d 70 cm;
  • 73 - 77 \u003d 75 cm;
  • 78 - 82 \u003d 80 cm;
  • 83 - 87 \u003d 85 cm;
  • 88 - 92 \u003d 90 cm;
  • 93 - 97 \u003d 95 cm;
  • 98 - 102 \u003d 100 cm.

Now you need to determine the Centimeter goes along the most prominent points. Taking off the measure, you need to find the difference between OPG and OG.

How do I know my bra cup size? The letter size is determined from the table.

Centimeters

It is customary to indicate both the average size under the breast and the fullness of the bowl on the product. For example, you can find out what size a bra with a D cup on your own by taking measurements and using the table.

It should be noted that in some countries there are markings that are unusual for us: DD, E, F, FF, G, GG, H, HH, J, JJ, K, KK, L, LL. Do not be surprised, on the tags of these manufacturers there are necessarily duplicated sizes familiar to the eye.

For example, a C cup is a size 3 bra.

European measurements

When purchasing underwear made in European countries, it is necessary to determine the size of the bodice using a different method. In Italy and France, the sizes and volumes are the same, but the girth under the bust is not rounded, but the difference between the parameters is found and the result is divided by 6. The resulting figure will correspond to the size.

For example, what size will the bra with cup A have: (90 - 78) / 6 \u003d 2. You will need to look for a bra of the second size.

When buying underwear, you can try experimenting with sizes. If the 90C cup doesn't fit, then you can safely try on the 85D. Perhaps it's not about the girth, but about the fullness of the chest or the shape of the cup. It's easy to get used to translating.

Types of bras

The variety of shapes, textures and types of bras lead women to a standstill. Coming to the store with laundry, the customer wants to understand what is at stake. And in order to explain which model is needed, you need to know the features of each. If the model fits the shape, then it will be easier to check whether it is comfortable to walk in it. A model that causes discomfort may fit, but not the shape and characteristics of the breast.

The most common forms are popular and are called the same by any manufacturer:

  1. Balconette.The model comes with a soft and hard cup. With a hard cup, it is suitable for owners with a soft one - for ladies of more impressive parameters. The model with lace along the nipple halo is called "Angelica". It is better to leave this option for solemn or romantic moments - lace is capable of chafing delicate skin.
  2. Underwire. The model is suitable for both owners of modest sizes and full-breasted ladies. The bones should follow the shape of the base of the breast, the cup fills completely. There should be no creases, voids, folds. The bones are sewn into the cup, do not protrude and do not cause discomfort.
  3. Push up.The name comes from the English Push - to push and UP - up. Literally - chest pusher up. The name speaks for itself - such a function in underwear is necessary in order to give the breasts more volume due to the soft pillows sewn into the cups. The smallest size AA bra with this support will appear larger. The cup in such models is almost always rigid, and the shape can be any.
  4. Soft. Soft linen is often made lacy. Well suited for ladies with large volumes who do not need additional shaping with a hard cup. A bra with a C cup in lace is perfect for women who want to soften their breasts and hide some volume. Models are both casual and sporty. Bras are also made with fasteners of different types.

The importance of fitting

Having decided on how to choose the size of the bra cup, you need to take the time to try it on. At first glance, it seems that only outerwear should be carefully measured - others see it, it performs a thermal protective function and is matched to the color of the accessories or to the image. However, a correctly chosen bra gives a woman's posture austerity, lifts her breasts and forms a beautiful silhouette. In addition, only on the fitting, carried out correctly, you can determine whether the shape is suitable or not.

Landing check

Professional athletes purchase special underwear that evenly distributes the load and compensates for movements. Such functions are performed every day by an ordinary bra.

To check if the size of the bra cups spelled with the real size, you need to see if the breasts fall out. If the mammary glands are too compressed, pinched in the middle, or if they fall out on top of the cup, then the size is incorrect.

The belt-belt to which the cups are sewn must be elastic, even if it is made of lace. To check if the back is too tight, you need to stick your thumb under the lock in the spine. If the finger enters, the size is appropriate.

The final test of the model's comfort is as follows: A fully closed bra will fit comfortably and comfortably. A woman needs to actively move in the chosen model. To do this, you need to raise your hands up, lower them down, turn around, make a few swings with your hands, tilt the body. If, after raising your hands up, there is no desire to straighten the underwear, distort the straps or lay out the chest, giving it a comfortable position in the cup, then the model certainly fits.

The strip of fabric around the ribs should fit snugly but elasticly against the skin. Especially carefully assess the condition of the fabric at the junction of the cup and tape. If a hall has formed in this place, the cup is wrinkled or the bone points not towards the armpit, but somewhere in the other direction, then the model has sat down incorrectly. The perfect fit means that all parts of the bra are perfectly flat against the body.

Checking straps

The straps perform one of the most important functions - they distribute the load on the shoulders and support the chest. The straps must be of the correct width. The larger the chest volume, the wider the straps should be. If the breast skin is thin and very sensitive, especially when breastfeeding, then the straps should be especially wide and elastic.

You can check the correct tension as follows: at the highest point of the shoulder, one finger should easily fit under the shoulder strap. If you do it this way, the tension is perfect.

Checking seams

Consider the inside of the cup and bra strap. Bones should not protrude, if any. The seams must be carefully processed - any thread can cause discomfort to delicate skin. Hardware must be of high quality - cheap iron hooks and loops can rust, irritate the skin and leave unsightly stains on your laundry.

Lingerie must be selected for a specific occasion or situation, outfit or type of clothing. Every woman's wardrobe should have several bras, different in texture and material.

In addition, women, knowing the characteristics of their body, should select models of bodices such that the poured breasts also fit comfortably in their underwear.

Wanting to receive underwear as a gift from a man, it is better to choose a specific size and model yourself. Men are not so knowledgeable about feminine intricacies, and the wrong model or shape will not only be uncomfortable, but can also create an awkward situation. If the check for exchange was not attached, then it will be difficult to explain to your beloved why the kit presented to him is gathering dust on the shelf.

I have compiled a selection of the most popular female myths that lovely ladies stubbornly believe in.

Myth # 1: Breast measurement in "sizes": "first size", "second size", "third size". And 85 A, that 70 A is still the first size, because the cup there is "A".

Why can't you measure your breasts in size?



Actually: 85 A and 70 A will have different cup capacities even though they are both "A"! Moreover, a bra cup capacity of 85 A is equivalent to a 70D bra. If so, why is 85A the first size and 70D the fourth? In fact, this is more and more profanation. In visual "size" - because 60 D will look like a small one, and 85 C will look like a good fifth size. Don't think about "sizes" if you want to choose the right bra size for yourself.

Saying "I have a fourth breast size" is incorrect, because it does not give an idea of \u200b\u200bwhich bra size will suit you. But to say that "I have a breast of size F", from the point of view of a woman advanced in the topic, is the same as saying, looking at the clock, "now half," leaving the interlocutor bewildered, "half of what?"

Myth # 2: DD is a huge size, E is just bathyscaphes, but F is such a size for those who did not do plastic surgery.

Many people think that breasts larger than F look like this:

Although, it is unlikely to fit even 100 LL (the latest size in the UK size line). And that's 11 cups over 100 F.

Fact: When Lena Miro made silicone breasts, a duck appeared (though not without Lena's help), which is what a size F breast looks like.

I already explained in the first point that "dimensional thinking" is crippled by itself. And she explained in her posts that in order to correctly determine the size of the bra, you must first determine the size of the belt, and only then determine the size of the cup, because they are interdependent. So, Lena's breasts are more like 60 H than 80 F. Because she is fit and slender, and her breasts are big. You will be surprised, but there are women with this size and by nature. And in general - 75 F - this is not a super-huge chest, it is quite an average size. It's just that most women who should wear it don't know - because they continue to wear 85 DD and hate their breasts. Of course, the shoulders and back hurt. I do not advise. Much more effective - dare and finally find out your real size, discarding prejudices.

Myth # 3: The number in the size of a bra means a centimeter under the bust. If I have 85 cm under my bust, then something with the number 85 on the tag will suit me.


This is not the correct way to determine the size of a bra. If you choose a bra like this, problems cannot be avoided.

In fact: For those who want to see a detailed explanation - to debunk this myth, I wrote. In short, the truth here is that in a bra with the number 85 on the tag there are MORE centimeters in the waist than 85 - just few people have come to this by experience. Others think that the bra belt in the area of \u200b\u200bthe shoulder blades on the back, back and neck pain is normal.

In fact, if you have 85 cm under the bust in girth, then you will need to choose a bra with the number 75 on the tag - because it is he, given the correct cup size, will hold your breasts securely, and not just "cover your nipples ". If you have to constantly adjust your bra, and you think that this is a stupid invention, what's with it, what's without it - then I guarantee you that you have chosen the wrong size, thinking that "in the 75th volume, my ribs are cracked ". Many readers of my blog admit that they used to think so, but I convinced them otherwise - and now they are happy because they believed my advice! What I wish for you too.

Myth # 4: You can buy lingerie without trying it on. If you buy lingerie on the Internet, and every time you are glad that "everything fits", then, obviously, you simply do not have an understanding of how a correctly chosen bra should sit and support.


"It seems to fit in! And the bra is sexy! Take it!"

In fact: Just because your breasts fit into the cup does not mean that the bra has sat down. A properly selected bra must meet not only this one criterion - but withstand a lot of tests in order to be not just a rag that covers the nipples.

In fact, buying underwear without trying on is a guaranteed loss, and. But, do they care about your comfort? No, because they care about your money. And they agree that you will wear mediocre underwear. But cheap!

Myth number 5: I have small breasts, what is there to pick up? The selection of a bra is relevant for large breasts, but it is difficult to make a mistake with the selection of underwear for small breasts.




She has small breasts, but does that mean she doesn't need good support?

Fact: Small breasts also need support, care and attention. She is just as susceptible to gravity, Cooper strains and vibrations as large breasts.

And - walking in is no better and more forgivable than with a large chest. You get neither support nor a beautiful shape - and all because you skimp on a conscious choice of this detail of the toilet.

Myth number 6: A bra is needed only for aesthetics - in order to please a man, and so that nipples do not stick out under the blouse. Society demands that we wear bras.


A bra really affects your posture

In fact: I am very sorry for women who buy bras only to get from shower to bedroom. In addition to the fact that the correctly selected bra will make your silhouette more graceful, lighten both your age and your weight in the eyes of others, it will also save your health. An improperly fitted bra spoils the quality of your life - only you hardly think about it. The fact that back and neck pains disappear if the bra is chosen correctly is not a joke, read it. The consequences of a mistake with this "frivolous" little thing - headaches, scars on the shoulders, stagnation of lymph, which, according to some information, is the cause of breast cancer - you can get such consequences without taking the topic seriously enough. The consequences cannot be reversed. Isn't your health worth looking at?

Myth # 7: There are no comfortable bras. They all dig into the armpits, the straps fall off the shoulders, and the belt crawls up. The desire to throw it off in the middle of the day is a normal desire. And in general, these devils of hell were invented to oppress women!


Yes, you can definitely choose a better bra

In fact: if you share this point of view, then you have not yet discovered the joy of the right underwear. Believe me, comfortable underwear - the kind that you don't want to take off even at home - exists, you just didn't find it for yourself. It will be this way until you

I seriously thought about what women are suitable for underwear in those sizes that are widely available. Some sizes, in my opinion, should not exist at all - or they should be as rare as 70 K, for example (do you know that such exists? Confirmation). For example, 80 A. or 85 B. But you see them much more often in regular stores? Or maybe you even wear one of these sizes?

Why do I think so? Throughout my practice, I have not met a single woman who, according to the results of a bra-fitting, would really need a size of 80 A. Or 85 B. Or 90 C. Or another of the spectrum of these "usual" sizes with a small cup and a large belt.

But those women who came to me wearing bras of this size left after finding out that they had 60 E. Or 70 F. However, they wanted to part with 80 A right away - I was asked to cut the tag off the bra so that him and leave. Wonders!

I immediately turn on the beacon of distrust when they tell me what I wear ... 80 A, 85 B and so on.

About the same distrust as if they told me that this woman has natural breasts:

But I don’t believe it, because this is an obvious fake and silicone. Nature does not give such a fragile body such a large breast. Nature is intelligent - it creates a harmonious female body. If you are petite and fragile, then your breasts are probably small and neat. If you are a crumpet, then your breasts are delicious. Weight in the body is evenly distributed - and the chest is no exception.

Therefore - do you know how a woman with a real volume of 85 on the back should look like?

If you are not in size 54 and are wearing an 85 girth bra size, then you are wearing the wrong bra size. Dot.

Look at the table of the approximate ratio of bra size and clothing size:


Try to measure the volume under the breast and correlate it with the data in the table. If the result is not even close to you, then you are wearing the wrong bra size.

Usually girls who come to me at 80 A or 85 B look like this:

And the size 70 F is more believable to them than the 80 A.

Because size, letter and number are:

80 A speaks of a very small chest relative to a large torso.
70 F speaks of a slender torso and medium chest.

This is a more believable proportion for most women. It doesn't matter - it matters how you feel and how well your bra fits. Because no one can really determine what size bra you are wearing - but the right underwear is visible immediately, because, in any size. Invite you !

Looking for the perfect bra for you?

It's simple: come to the bra-fitting! Bra-fitting is a full-fledged master class lasting about an hour, the purpose of which is practical training in the selection of the ideal underwear for any situation. You will be able to see for yourself how the combination of the right bra size and shape works.

Good day, girls! I will not hide the fact that before I did not think at all and was an amateur in the topic this article is devoted to, because the sellers did everything for me. How to correctly determine and choose the size of the bra (table), how not to make a mistake and successfully choose a bra cup abroad - all the answers are in the article.

By the way, the material will be useful not only for girls, but also for guys who decide to please their lady of the heart and look into a lingerie store.

Coming to a lingerie store, it is easy to get lost among the variety of panties and bras of all shades and styles. It is especially unclear how to determine the size of a bra, because the manufacturers differ not only in the number series, but even the system itself, by which you can find a suitable model. My article is devoted exactly to how to choose a model of lingerie for your figure, so as to ensure the perfect fit, comfortable wear and, of course, aesthetics.

Why, then, when choosing panties, problems usually do not arise, and choosing a bra, the vast majority of women have difficulty?

Because before buying, you need to know exactly your two volumes at once - the cups and the chest (breast).

What do the numbers and letters mean?

On the label sewn into the bra, the manufacturer must indicate two designations: numerical and alphabetic (in Latin), for example, 70b.

How to determine bra size by numbers: chest circumference

The first is the girth of the chest, measured under the bust, and manufacturers most often use a multiple of 5.

The starting value is 65, the standard ending is 95, where, according to statistics, the most common female sizes are 75-80-85.

How to spell your bra size: cup fullness

The second is the fullness of the calyx, where the initial AA corresponds to size zero and G to size 7. The most popular are B - 2nd size, C - 3rd and D - 4th.

When the bra is matched to both sizes, it will be a pleasure to wear it.

Let's figure out how to correctly determine the size of a bra and understand the difference between 65aa and 80f, and not just visually determine "large" or "small".

Why is it important not to be mistaken when choosing a bra size?

Many girls often buy a bra for its aesthetic parameters at the expense of functionality.

"Yes, it pulls here, it is too small there, here I crashed a drop, but what a beauty and inexpensive!" - familiar, right? But this is the main mistake - the bra is not boots and it will not work to "carry" it, but it is easy to "earn" a bunch of troubles from the wrong size.

The same is the case with the model, which is great.

The consequences of an incorrectly fitted bra

Both the one and the other extreme are dangerous as follows:

  • Violation of blood circulation in the mammary glands is fraught with not only unpleasant sensations, but also problems, including tumors.
  • Back and neck pain from pressing tight straps can provoke osteochondrosis.
  • Zipper marks on the back, and if the skin is sensitive, then small bruises.

As you can see, in no case should you neglect fitting!

What should you look for when trying on a bra?

Knowing all this, choosing a bra online will seem like an easier task than it seems at first glance. However, ideally, you should try on a bra of the desired brand at least once in real life to make sure that the style and design are comfortable and fit your anatomy.

Trying on bras: requirements for a perfect bra

So, a perfectly fitting bra can be said to meet the following requirements:

  • The underwire of the bra should reach the middle of the armpit, but if it fits only the beginning of the arm, this size is too small.
  • The model should fit the chest. We pay attention to the fact that the fastener does not slide down - in this case, it is worth trying a bra one size smaller, and not bulging up - this suggests that you need to try on a larger version.
  • You can also determine that the product is not matched in size by the straps - they must go strictly parallel. If the straps pull or slide to the outside of the shoulder, another model is worth checking out.
  • A finger should easily pass under the strap-fastener of the bra. If this does not work, then the laundry is not enough.
  • The larger the chest and, accordingly, the volume of the bra cup is from D to F, the wider the straps should be.
  • You can find out if the bra is sitting well and if it holds the breast by simply removing the straps. If everything is in order, then the model fits, but if the fastener begins to fall off or the cups protrude, then you need to look for something else.
  • A properly selected bra allows you to breathe freely in it, does not restrict movement and gives you complete freedom.
  • The bra should be made of breathable fabrics, especially from the inside - viscose and cotton. It is better to avoid pure synthetics, as well as too thick foam rubber. It will adversely affect the condition of the skin, especially during the hot period.

At this time, the push-up effect is best achieved through special inserts, which can be removed on especially hot days.

So, now that we know what to look at first when choosing a bra, let's figure out the right size and figure out how to find the correct cup size and measure the correct bust. But first I would like to recommend you a new article, maybe it will be useful for you.

How to determine the size of the bra (tables)

To do this, you need to take several measurements. Everyone is quite capable of coping with this task on their own, but it is better if you take measurements in front of a mirror. This will make the results more accurate.

Hold your breath in the middle between inhalation and exhalation - this will give an average value, and measure the volume of the chest under the mammary glands with a tailor's tape.

Make sure that the centimeter does not slip or bulge, but runs parallel to the floor. We fix the value, for example 78.

The number turned out to be not a multiple of 5, which means we round it up to 80.

The rounding order is shown in this table.

Now you need to measure your chest at the most prominent point. We also act: the centimeter does not sag, but it does not bite into the skin, it runs exactly parallel.

We write down the result, for example 92.

How to calculate your bra size

We subtract the first from the second value, it turns out 14 cm.Let's see what value this indicator corresponds to in the table below. In our example, this is a cup size 2 or b.

It turns out that our virtual woman has a second bra size or 80b.

As you can see, everything is very simple, it is enough to know how to proceed to determine your bra size for sure.

Here is another table that will make it even easier to find out what size of linen is suitable. In it, it is enough to find the value of the girth under the chest and on it along the most prominent points.

How to determine bra size in other countries?

However, in Russia, Europe and the United States, the meanings of letters and numbers do not coincide, so before ordering linen online on Western sites, you should familiarize yourself with their size system.

For example, in France and Italy, calculations are carried out in a different way, respectively, the values \u200b\u200bwill also differ.

We look at the following table and find European and American sizes corresponding to Russian sizes.

As you can see, there is nothing difficult in determining your bra size. It is enough to devote some time to the question, make all measurements, see which letters and numbers from the table they correspond to and that's it!

This information will save time in the fitting room of a lingerie store and even allow you to buy a bra online over the Internet. We choose the models we like, look at the labels and just find our own!

On this I am not saying goodbye to you, but saying goodbye!

Be beautiful and fashionable!
